Liberals do not want to admit that almost all of the heavily affected areas are in high density urban cities. They are breeding grounds for the virus with their diversity and inclusion and all.

I fear for my parents. They live in Burbank, CA and are both between 79-86. Fortunately, their church is shut down, and only doctor visits and a once a week grocery shop are in their plans to leave the house.

Cities will always remain popular. They've gone through wars, plagues, pandemics, disasters and time after time we find it's better to organize our societies socially in communities.

If you're trying to argue density is a problem you're wrong.

Cities are a cultural triumph of the human civilization.

I’m sorry they offend your small town sensibilities but city folk are not going to give up city life just because of the increased chances of illness.

That is their right as it is your right to choose to live in the sticks.

Does not make sense to quarantine in states like Wyoming.......repeat that concept for lots of other states.

Yet every state has reported a Corona Virus case.
Explain that.

Ordinarily I'd laugh if some small town in the middle of America that trivializes/downplays a pandemic suddenly becomes an ironic hotspot of a devastating COVID-19 deaths, but Easter is coming...

Covid-19 is not a hoax, is not necessarily an Armageddon, end of the world-like event, but is an event that is being addressed.

Enough of the histrionics, both by the media in main and certain cynical politicians who stand to gain by the chicken little pronouncements.

From the good Dr Birx,
Quote:
“If you do these projections, when you got to those projections that said like in Germany and others that implied that 60% or 50% of the population would get infected, I want to be very clear, the only way that happens is that this virus remains continuously moving through populations in this cycle, in the fall cycle, and another cycle,” Birx continued. “That’s through three cycles with nothing being done.”
Quote:
“But I can tell you if you go back and look at Wuhan and Hubei and all of these provinces, when they talk about 60,000 people being infected, even if you said, alright, well there’s asymptomatics and all of that, so you get to 600,000 people out of 80 million,” Birx added. “That is nowhere close to the numbers that you see people putting out there. I think it has frightened the American people.”

Define "sticks". I live within 10 miles of an area that has 280,000 people.

I get the vibe that "sticks" to you is any area under 3 million people.
